Eliminate Government Debt with a Priceless Artifact..... | |
Please accept this [insert priceless artifact here]to satisfy our
debt obligation to you. Since simply repaying would not
adequately describe our thanks, we choose not to put a limit
on how thankful we are. Your efforts to underwrite the debt
of our citizens is truly a service we will cherish.
Lets
keep in touch. Enjoy that [insert priceless artifact here]
and all that! Keep a close eye on it, may want to keep it in a
vault or something.
I say let them choose from one of several priceless items

Sure, it's not the Statue of Liberty or the original Constitution but it does come with a certificate of authenticity. [doctorremulac3, Jan 13 2012]

May work better if issued in a form backed by the full
military power of the US |
|
| |
Possibly kind of baked by China with pandas, although the debt situation may be reversed. |
|
| |
The best way for Americans to start repaying their debt is to stop having children, as each American child consumes in irreplaceable resources approximately twenty times that of each "third world" child. |

Sell Yellowstone National Park and then, when the supervolcano underneath it erupts, covering 75% of the USA 100 metres thick with lava, sue the new owners. |

Ooooh, sneaky ... we like. |
|
| |
Can I suggest that the USA auction Wales to the
highest bidder? |

zen_tom's got it right. The US debt is unique among
nations in that it is repaid in its own currency. |
|
| |
There is no other (politically, physically) viable way
it'll pay down its debt other than diluting it's own
currency. |

Thanks for sharing. Remember to flush. |

Could start expiring more than importing..? No, that's silly.
Everybody likes cheap TV's and fresh (ish) fruit. |
|
| |
Meant exporting, but prefer expiring. Could save on pensions. |
|

I felt that I owed you a bun, but chose instead to discharge
my obligation to you by performing a happy little dance in
your honour. You're welcome! |
|
| |
But... I already have a white elephant. |

| |
Please accept this beautiful set of Franklin Mint plates commemorating the paying off of our national debt. |

The problem is that there's a big difference between "price" and "value". This is why we're skeptical of infomercials that give you a bonus spatula -- a $20 value -- absolutely free. |

"Failed to meet Reserve...." |

But you still need to pay your eBay listing fee. |
|

Another 7p down the drain. Hey ho, hey ho ... |
|

Shirley not. It would probably be bought by a Texan
who thought he was getting Scotland. |
|
| |
Would the Prince be included? |
|
| |
//bought by a Texan who thought he was getting Scotland// would the average Texan even know where Scotland was? |
|

I have been in parts of Texas where folk have extra fingers growing out of the back of their heads.These extra digits have evolved over time to save them reaching up and scratching the backs of their heads when they don't understand something.
It's called a Dumbvolutionary response. |

Xenzag. Odd it is your description of Texas, I think. |

Every day I see 3 or 4 out of state plates. |

I imagine about 1:1000 brings someone skilled enough totake my
job, but they keep comming and no stop. |
